The Iridium Fuzz is an overdrive/distortion with a fuzzy tendencies. Alone, it can do light overdrive to tweedy distortion. When combined with other gain pedals or a crunchy amp, the Iridium builds on the tone you've got, giving an ordinary overdrive anything from a bit more rasp to wooly singing sustain.

This pedal makes a great partner for the drives you already own, giving whatever device it is driving a fuzzy timbre that makes upper harmonics really pop. Lead playing is made easy and fun as single note lines are made fuller and longer lasting with the right amount upper midrange and presence to cut through a band. The Iridium Fuzz is a simple, great sounding device that works well alone and stacked!

The Winford Drive is one of the world's best ovedrive/distortion pedals. This device adapts to nearly every situation, going from light overdrive on country stages, to big wooly distortion on the hardest rocking gigs. With unparalleled touch sensitivity and dynamic response, the Winford responds to the way you play. The Winford goes beyond cleaning up simply by rolling back on your guitar's volume. Small changes in playing dynamics are translated immediately by the Winford to a huge palette of tones. The Gain knob covers tones from very light overdrive to monstrous distortion. The unique Mid Boost gives natural sounding boost in the lower mids that can fill out lightly overdriven tones, and can give single coil instruments the girth to compete with their humbucking brethren. The Tone knob gives you broad control of your high frequency content and the Presence control lets you add clarity to your high end without getting piercing or sterile. The Winford Drive is one of the most versatile guitar effect pedals ever made. It not only gives the player access to a huge variety of tones via its simple, powerful controls, but works with your playing dynamics and guitar's volume control to make the Winford an ultra-responsive and dynamic part of any guitar rig.

The Pegasus Boost provides a clean, transparent boost useful for making your guitar sound fuller, pushing your amp into overdrive, or stacking with your current drive and distortion pedals to create new and exciting tones. One gain knob lets the user dial in the precise amount gain required for any situation. Alone, the Pegasus gives an un-tempered gain boost without overtly accentuating or attenuating any part of your tone. When used with other pedals like overdrives, the Pegasus can make your tone thicker and more complex as the pedals cooperate with one another. The XTS Pegasus Boost is a simple circuit with a simple interface, but it delivers amazing results because it is designed to work with you and your gear. So whether you need a straightforward clean boost, or something to push your current pedals and amps to new levels, the Pegasus Boost simply delivers.

The XTS Imperial Overdrive is a clear, open-voiced, wide-bandwidth overdrive that has been optimized for low gain to higher-mid gain tones. We developed the Imperial with a great deal of input from our Nashville clients. We took an overdrive sound that they loved and extended its flexibility and usefulness. The controls have been optimized to provide wide sweet spots that make this pedal easy to dial in. The Color knob lets you adjust the EQ for a big variation in response without getting overly dark or painfully bright. The taper of the Gain knob makes it easy to dial in just a touch of grit to your tone, or use it to apply crunch with a formidable low-mid presence great for classic open-back combos. Bass response is full and the high end character is clear without being harsh. You can adjust the dynamics of you tone with the Dyn switch. The up position gives you a classic Nashville overdrive while the down position gives you a more articulate, faster voice, making the Imperial equally good at both thumping crunch sounds and clear, transparent overdriven sounds. The Imperial is a great solution for bold dirty rhythm sounds, adding the slightest amount of dirt to your clean, or sending an already crunchy amp over the edge!

The Fermata optical compressor is a product that has spent a very long time in development at XTS. From dreaming up our ideal compressor features, designing the circuits to implement them, sourcing parts for production and going back to square one on more than one occasion, we have worked very hard to provide a compressor that offers a ton of control without being difficult to dial in. The Fermata holds true to many classic optical compressor characteristics. The optical element of the Fermata gives a soft-knee squish that sounds natural even under high SUSTAIN settings. Unlike some VCA based designs, the Fermata can limit dynamic range without necessarily destroying the dynamic content of your signal. Even with very aggressive and pumping settings, this compressor breathes like the great studio optical-based designs of the past. While the Fermata does not have a mix control per se, it does have a four ways of controlling the compression characteristic to whatever level of subtly needed. The SUSTAIN control adjusts the threshold of compression. Higher settings lead to more compression and longer sustain. The RATIO switch allows you to select ratios from gentle compression to very aggressive limiting. The ATTACK control adjusts the compressor's attack time to nearly instantaneous action to slow attack times that allow you to keep an unattenuated initial transient and focus compression on your signal's tails. The CONTOUR control has been sitting on the XTS whiteboard for nearly 7 years. This control desensitizes the compressor to low end frequencies. Many times, when compressors are compressing nicely in the guitar's upper registers, the first position low strings are overly compressed and practically folding in on themselves. The Fermata's CONTOUR control allows you to reduce this phenomenon and lets you play open and snappy riffs down low and slide up to a slinky, compressed feel for lead licks and fills. The Fermata's TONE control allows you to add back some of the sheen the compression process can sometimes seem to roll off and gives the Fermata the ability to offer compressed and crisp studio tones even in front of amps that aren't set extraordinarily bright. For as much as the Fermata offers in terms of compression, it may be the ways in which it can be made to NOT compress that set it apart from other devices in the market. Even those players who have struggled to find a compressor that works for them will be able to easily dial in natural sounding compression that enhances your guitar playing without overpowering it.

The XTS Dual Pedal houses a Precision Multi-Drive and Pegasus Boost in one enclosure. You have independent access to a fantastic overdrive and clean boost. These are the exact same circuits that you can buy in our individual pedals, combined to save size and give you flexibility in routing your boost before or after the Multi-Drive. You can use the Pegasus independently of the Multi-Drive, and with the Pre-Post switch you can put the boost before or after your selected drive, giving you the option to add saturation to your dirty sound or a level boost to get over the band for soloing.

Overdrive is just the beginning for this pedal. The Atomic can bring enough energy to your tone to take it from simple overdrive to beyond brown. XTS has designed the Atomic to act and react like a great high-gain tube amplifier. The Atomic Overdrive has been optimized for world class tone AND feel. The Atomic has a discrete, multi-stage FET preamp that can develop a nearly unruly amount of gain. The cascading gain stages produce a dense, musical distortion and, when pushed, develop the same type of low-end thump and sagging feel as a particular brand of cranked, variac-ed EL34 classic. This preamp is fed into an advanced EQ that puts tremendous control in the hands of the user. Shelving cut/boost Treble and Bass controls flank an innovative semi-parametric Mid EQ control. The exact tone you’re looking for is likely defined in the mid-range, and the Atomic Overdrive allows you to select one of three mid-range frequencies to either cut or boost. When boosting with the Mid Select switch in the Lo position, you can add girth without getting muddy. In the Hi position, you can add articulation to the upper mids, while boosting in the Mid position gives you a third option for dialing in the just what you're looking for. Additionally, you can cut at any of the same frequencies for a more swept sound that can lend itself to more aggressive musical genres. With the Atomic, you can bump and dip the mid-range with precision and do so with subtlety or an iron fist. The Atomic Overdrive can take your clean amp to a whole new level. The Atomics sound is so beefy and mammoth that it can potentially eliminate the need for the second amp in your A/B setup. The advanced EQ lets you sculpt your tone to work with your guitar, your amp, and ultimately the ideal in your head. The Atomic Overdrive is both uncompromising and flexible. It delivers unadulterated high gain tones, and allows you to tweak and tune as you develop the exact tone you're looking for.

The XTS Precision Multi-Drive takes classic overdrive tones to the next level, giving you the means to dial in the exact sound you are looking for with added controls to vary the tonal response and gain structure of the overdrive. The Precision Multi-Drive's two toggle switches can control whether the pedal has a traditional mid-range emphasis, is softer with a bit more top end, or bold and fat, producing tones more like the west coast overdrive we all know and love. The Fat - Slim - Fatter control lets you adjust the low-end contour to your instrument, amp, and tastes. Slim makes this pedal a real screamer, with a mid-range sound heard on countless records. The Fat and Fatter settings let you fill out your low and low-mid frequencies, producing a full-bodied overdrive tones that sound like a great overdriven amplifier. With the Soft – Punch - Edge control you can adjust the sound and feel of this pedal. Punch gives you big, bold, and fast dynamics. In the Soft and Edge settings you can mimic the forgiving and dynamic feel of smaller wattage amps as well as amps with cascading overdrive that lends itself to a slightly rounder attack.
